Taxonomic discussion. Tropicophyllum stat. rev. is one of the most characteristic genera among the Neotropical Phaneropterinae , for having showy hyaline regions in tegmina. However, he currently shares this characteristic with Anapolisia , Capanema Mendes & Rafael 2021 , Caaura Mendes et al. 2020 and Hyalipenna Mendes et al. 2020 . Tropicophyllum stat. rev. it is easily distinguished by having large transversal hyaline bands (versus narrow hyaline bands associated with the main branches of tegmina, marginally with small rounded spots in Anapolisia and Caaura; small hyaline regions in the branches of the CuA and MP veins with small black round spots forming streaked lines in Capanema Mendes & Rafael 2021 ; large horizontal bands in Hyalipenna Mendes et al. 2020 ).
